Amino acids obtained by fermentation or recovered from protein waste hydrolysates represent an excellent renewable resource for the production of bio-based chemicals. In an attempt to recycle both carbon and nitrogen, we report here on a chemocatalytic, metal-free approach for decarboxylation of amino acids, thereby providing a direct access to primary amines. In the presence of a carbonyl compound the amino acid is temporarily trapped into a Schiff base, from which the elimination of CO2 may proceed more easily. After evaluating different types of aldehydes and ketones on their activity at low catalyst loadings (≤5 mol%), isophorone was identified as powerful organocatalyst under mild conditions. After optimisation many amino acids with a neutral side chain were converted in 28–99 % yield in 2-propanol at 150 °C. When the reaction is performed in DMF, the amine is susceptible to N-formylation. This consecutive reaction is catalysed by the acidity of the amino acid reactant itself. In this way, many amino acids were efficiently transformed to the corresponding formamides in a one-pot catalytic system.
Benzamidines, alkamidines and formamidines formed by use of aryl- and alkyliminodimagnesium: Molar ratio and structure of reagent governing the reaction

In order to extend the the method for preparation of amidines using N-Mg reagents, aryl- and alkyliminodimagnesium [IDMg, ArN(MgBr)2 and RN(MgBr)2] were reacted with esters, amides, ortho- esters, acetals, aminoacetal and arene- and
